Then you are satisfied with your results; data proves your hypothesis. The data are quite convincing. The method is good and correct.

7. What results have you obtained?

Read the following text which was written in the 80es and tell if

By the year 1990, there may be over 100,000 robots installed in the US. The form, design end technology of these robots will improve as time progresses. It will be made possible to use robots in hundreds of thousands of applications as a number of technical problems are overcome.

The first technical need is the improvement of the accuracy of positioning the robot. Through better calibration procedures and improved mechanical systems, the arbitrary accuracy of the system will be improved.

Another area needing improvement is the dynamic performance of robots. In many assembly tasks, present-day robots are too slow and clumsy to effectively work in cooperation with human labor. Much also remains to be done in the design of grippers. Sensors of many different kinds also need to be developed. Robots must become able to see, feel and sense the position of objects in a number of different ways. In addition, control systems are needed which can process sensory data from a large number of sensors simultaneously.

In the coming decade we can look for systems with improved reliability, lighter weight, lower cost and more extended sensor capabilities.

9. What are the spheres of its application?

One of the major potentialities of robotic devices is performing tasks in environments in which humans cannot operate safely or efficiently. One such environment is under water where robots can be used for construction and repair of structures, retrieving lost objects, gathering underwater mining and drilling equipment. Undersea functioning will require on-board computer processing for sensing and mobility far greater than is currently available. Underwater robots could be weightless with their buoyancy controlled by filling or emptying air chambers. They could be maneuvered by propelling or by jets of water; even walking underwater could easily be accomplished by a two-legged robot.

In the air conditioner

Firstly, when cooling, warm room air is drawn across the indoor coil (evaporator) where heat is transferred to the refrigerant passing through the coil.

Secondly, this heat is then transferred via the refrigerant to the outdoor coil (condenser) where it is dissipated to the atmosphere.
